We are coming to the end of our stewardship campaign at church - most people cringe when they hear the word "stewardship", automatically thinking "here comes the campaign for money". This year our church took a different track - focusing on Time, Talent & Treasure. The bullet points were so straight to the point that I thought I would share them with you.
Time - When God gives us life, we do not know how much time we have to use that life, but whatever time we have is a gift from God, and we must use it wisely in every activity throughout the day to fulfill God's plan
Talent - God has made each of us a steward - and has given us abilities and talents that are unique. We should use these abilities and talents to serve God. The Bible tells us if we use our talents wisely, we will be better able to use them and will develop others - if we don't use them, we may lose them.
Treasure - The Bible says that we should set aside our "first fruits" - that our offering to God should be the first portion we set aside, not what remains.
You see, these 3 things are not just appropriate for stewardship campaigns - they should guide the way we live our lives. Even if your "treasure" is virtually non-existant, you still have time and talent. Your time is tight but surely you can take a few minutes a day to thank God for your blessings and ask Him for guidance.
Pray on these 3 items and ask God to help you find your way to your purpose. No matter what His response is, always remember that God created a wonderful gift when He created you!
God Bless You!
